Were we hoping for a girl? Sure. Were we a little disappointed to see "outdoor plumbing" as our technician called it? Yeah. But it's hard to stay disappointed for long when you've just spent the past hour watching your little baby moving, breathing, and developing before your very eyes. It will never cease to amaze me how awesome that experience truly is.
Our little boy is healthy and moving! Seems like he's going to be a long and skinny baby... similar to Landon I would imagine. He's little tummy is measuring right where is should but his arms, legs, and head are measuring a week ahead of schedule. Right now he's 12 oz and 12 inches long. Hard to imagine he's already a foot long 'lil peanut... and he's not even a pound yet! I lovingly referred to his as our foot long hot dog on the way home. :)
The ultrasound seemed to be amazingly clear today, even compared to our ultrasounds with the other boys. Not sure if technology has advanced that much in the past three years, but it was so cool to be able to see our little peanut so clearly. Some funny things he was doing...
- Opening his mouth and sucking on his fingers
- Giving us the peace sign
- A high five to the screen. This was my favorite by far... it was so awesome to see his little hand pressed to the screen. You could clearly see all five of his little fingers. Just amazing!
- A James Bond profile picture. This one is Cliff's favorite. :)
- A spread eagle shot... just to be 100% certain he's all boy. Hehehe!
I'll scan in the first pictures of our little boy and post them soon.
